Travel Setup

At 138 g and dimensions of 2.5 x 2.5 x 16 cm, the V4 Pro has a slim pen design that fits any jacket pocket. The housing is matte plastic with a comfortable grip. Despite the low weight, the device feels solid and well-built.

The OLED display shows temperature, battery level, heating mode, and session timer at a glance. Operation uses a single multi-function button: five clicks to power on/off, three clicks to switch modes, hold to start heating. The V4 Pro auto-shuts off after a session - handy when you forget.

Compared to a smartphone, the V4 Pro is about twice as thick but similar in length. In a pants pocket, it barely stands out. The black color and understated design keep it discreet - unlike flashier devices like the Crafty+ with its green accents.

For transport, a small doob tube or hardcase is recommended. The glass mouthpiece is the most fragile part and shouldn’t sit loose in a pocket. Some users buy a spare glass mouthpiece right away - at around $8, it’s a sensible insurance policy.
